Dark as death Tainted as his soul Was his love. Love. It was desire that danced in the borders While sugary words enticed Through the hollow letters the colour of night. Night. Through the shadows Over the twisted tree roots Past the prickling bushes I made my way towards a cheetah like form. Cheetah. He traced my jaw line once Even the moon ceased to watch As the animal began devouring me. Love. Has its consequences Carrying in my womb, his sin I eloped. I went to him. To him. He took good care of me. With a bullet and the words; “Black Love.”
